Hi

36 possible outcomes of sums when rolling a pair of dice

___1_2_3__4__5__6

1|_2_3_4__5__6__7

2|_3_4_5__6__7__8

3|_4_5_6__7__8__9

4|_5_6_7__8__9_10

5|_6_7_8__9_10_11

6|_7_8_9_10_11_12



P(The sum of the two numbers you roll from the dice is 8) = 5/36

P(The sum of the two numbers you roll is 12) = 1/36

P(The sum of two numbers you roll is 7) = 6/36 Or 1/6
